| azaris: The strangest game between Sutovsky and Mamedyarov today. Two master tacticians ended up trading pieces and going into a long technical endgame where Sutovsky pressed on to win. |
 |
| Aug-03-05 |
| gabisrael: "Sutovsky pressed on to win." He actually didn`t pressed,he just did some very strange moves that could have costed his the game,but somehow Mamedyarov played VERY bad such ending and loosed |

| gabisrael: today Emil beated Lautier in a very convcincing style.It seems as the israeli team is demolishing every one on its path.What is going on with the russians? and even the ucranians are not at the expectations.Holland is performong quite empressive too,with a comeback from Timman |

| notyetagm: Today Sutovsky lost at the European Team Championship. It's not often that you see him outplayed tactically like today. The star move, to me at least, is 37  f5!. The point is that if Black now saves his endangered e4-rook by moving it to safety (for example, 37 ...  b4), then White plays 38 e5, attacking the Black h8-rook (<remove the guard>) which is preventing the rook and bishop mate xh7#, thus winning material (a whole rook) since this rook cannot leave the h8-square. A beautiful petite combination showing <the power of the two bishops>.[Event "European Teams"]

| notyetagm: Anyone know what is wrong with Sutovsky's play recently? In the Oct 1 2004 FIDE rating list Sutovsky had a 2697 rating and was on the verge of breaking into the 2700 club. Now in the July 1 2006 FIDE rating list, his rating has fallen all the way down to 2607 and Sutovsky is out of the Top 100 even! What gives? |

| Plato: I just found a nice comment about Sutovsky on Mig's chessninja forum: <If Sutovsky would stop trying to achieve the next Immortal Game each round, I suspect that he would zoom past 2700, maybe into the Top 5. He's every bit as creative a tactician as Shirov. It would be nice to see a collection of his best games get published.> I couldn't agree more. This corresponds exactly to what I had written a few days earlier on the Sutovsky vs Z Andriasian, 2007 page: <Sutovsky's games remind me of the young Tal... only it's more costly to play that way nowadays, and his intuitive play is often punished. He's an artist, and his games are a pleasure to watch, but I wish he would be more consistent. The immense talent is there. He could establish himself among the 2700+ club if he would reel in his optimism a bit. With a higher rating more people would notice and appreciate this exciting player.>) |

| metatron2: <Plato: I just found a nice comment about Sutovsky on Mig's chessninja forum: <If Sutovsky would stop trying to achieve the next Immortal Game each round, I suspect that he would zoom past 2700, maybe into the Top 5.> I couldn't agree more that Sutovsky is in-fact a very exciting talented player, and watching his games is a real thrill.
I can even see him pushing towards 2700 in a more stable way (he did get as high as 2697 for a brief period), had he worked harder on his weak points (mainly his over optimism and irresistible desire to create beautiful artistic games). However, being a real top player required more then that IMO: I think that three main factors separates the real top players from the rest of the real strong players (i.e. 2600 - 2700 players): 1. Their exceptionally strong mental strength that enables them keeping their high level over long periods and make much fewer mistakes over time. I mean, we can see many players that generates master pieces every now and then, but they can loose horribly later on, and with top players this is much less common. 2. Their understanding in chess is simply better in the long run: you can see that in most cases they can make choises that in the long run turn out to be the correct ones in general, especially in endgames.
For example: Shirov that was compared with Sutovsky here, is also a great endgame player, and this fact (that is hardly known about him because it is not as sexy as his tactics) is highly important for his 2720-2750 performance. 3. Opening Preparation: Top players are working seriously on their opening preparations without leaving any real "holes", they are always super prepared, which is a key factor to their success. I don't think Sutovsky has enough of these 3 factors to enter the top of the top, his real strength is probably around 2650, which he can extend probably to around 2700 with hard work, but I don't think that he has more then that. |
|
| May-02-08 |
| Riverbeast: I think you're right <metatron2>....At the 2650+ level everybody is talented....And I think Sutovsky is more talented than many other players at his rating level. What separates 2650 and 2700+, I think, is harder work and more attention to those "little details" you mentioned |
